9:02 pm
taliban is making weeping territorial games with its militants now reported to be just 50 kilometers from the capital couple. now the un chief is desperately urging all parties to refrain from harming civilians. even a country that has tragically known generations of conflicts, afghanistan is in the throes of yet another k. u. arctic and desperate chapter. an incredible treasure the for its long suffering. people have forgotten. he's done his spinning out of control on friday. the tele, unclaimed that it had seemed to have gonna stand 2nd largest city kandahar. you can now see exclusive footage from there. islam as militant groups have had few hundreds of weapons and vehicles, as well as large amounts of ammunition during the operation. u. s embassy in cobble is urging all americans to leave immediately going so far as to offer loans to those unable to afford plane tickets home. and to use any available commercial
9:03 pm
carriers on the map. here you can see the situation on the ground in afghanistan right now. currently, the taliban has taken hold of strategically crucial locations very near to the capital. the illness ramped up their offensive back in april, after the u. s. president announced that he was pulling out troops at the time. the milton group had less than a 5th of the country. now they control more than half local journalists below or worry, told us that the people in couple are feeling right now. the people kind of specially the people of cobbled or extremely disappointed in a lack of literary strategy that should have prevented what is now a very be moralizing trend for the african soldiers entire unit. even a brigade in core commanders are entering to the color one, not putting up
9:04 pm
a fight. many people in the city of chicago. today i spoke to told me that why did their sons got killed when they were sent to the more corners of this country? and this was the end result when you had the western embassies to listen to the cobble is not there for when you hear them deploying forces, saying that this is specifically to evacuate their own, you know, citizens. it does not instill confidence in the african government during the african peoples. i'm sure the presence of thought cobbler province in within the city is now an open secret. and what is a city like cobble it's panic? it's chaos. you know, the memories of the 1990 is a very fresh when i went to a very dark period, i must also highlight another point that cobblers had no electricity. so those fears are real risks. busy and the people are quite tragically don't. busy have
9:05 pm
a hole in the future of this country that is crumbling for the time. meanwhile, an initial deployment of us forces has arrived in a couple to protect evacuating embassy staff with most of the $3000.00 total troops for the mission expected in the coming days. and amid the swirl of helicopters at the embassy observers are comparing the scene to the last chopper out of saigon, which marked the end of the vietnam war. senior republican lawmaker mentioned mcconnell says that it looks like america is getting ready for the fall of cobble. just a month ago though, president joe biden dismissed the vietnam parallels. you see any parallels between this withdraw and what happened to vietnam with some people feeling? we know that the tale yvonne is not the south, the north vietnamese army. they're not, they're not remotely comparable terms of capability. there's going to be no circumstance for you to see people being lifted off the roof of
9:06 pm
a embassy in the of the united states from afghanistan total failure. i think that there is any other way you can possibly measure some by means of compassion when the soviet stuff that's going to sound and non connection. i meet the pro, soviet government did not collapsing in this way. in fact, it took 2 years before any major cities fell to my job being was here is saying, major cities falling one off the other 2 to the taliban before the americans have in for the left, which gives i think, credit to compact things. it shows how, how much less successful impact americans have been and building a stable government and i've kind of stamina service one, the service didn't exactly do a good job. so therefore, i mean a clarity. the americans of failed dismally. i think this is got less to do with the daughter of miss underestimation of the taliban strang as it is to do it in a under estimation of the will to fight the government forces. i mean, simply put the gun forces of collapse. they've shown very little will to, to, to fight. and so it's really
9:07 pm
a moral problem when the government forces more than the strength of the taliban. british forces are also withdrawing, but the country's defense secretary is already gravely warning that i'm going to stand is on the brink of collapse, calling us decision a mistake. ben wallace says tele militants, clearly have momentum across the country. and that's kind of, sam is heading toward civil war predicting as well that the battle scarred nation will again become a breeding ground for all kinda reporting next from outside, the british defense ministry. here's sharia edwards dusty hello. options on the table is the latest from the u. k. is defense secretary friend wallace, as he tries to prevent and all out civil war enough money. san is the u. k. begins to retreat troops out of the country. now. ever since us taliban peace still. what we've seen is nature, all that we have all the god to retrieve what flashes this power political vacuum in the region,
9:08 pm
seeing the taliban totally taking control and tipping that balance of power. but this point was obviously a situation that's deteriorating by the minute the u. k prime minister bars johnson says that britain should be proud of what's been done there over the last 20 years . i must say, i don't believe it was in vain, because i do think when you look back at what has happened over the last 20 years, there was a massive effort to deal with a particular problem that everybody will remember after 911. and that was successful. now not only will a poverty of course increase on political d stabilisation, but what's a key worry is terrorism could also still be on the rise. and that's why the you case, defendant secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. now we're in this position where it's out of the house clearly to manage across the country. the united states are leaving that with an honest yesterday we are leaving alongside them. and that leaves a, as you say, a very,
9:09 pm
very big problem on the ground developing with the taliban failed states around the world lead to instability, lead to a security threat to off and our interest. we have very clear about that, that fly that the west has to learn. you don't fix problems, you manage problems. pro button wallace has also said that the united kingdom may act if ask on a stone again began to hob, a terrorism, particularly if it pose an international threat like it did arguably some 18 years ago. but many auntie will activists argue that the foreign policy never been about to humanitarian mission, nor was it about democracy and only ever saw the land become the place of conflicts in battle, ground giving rise to the taliban. and what we see now is this holly on all accelerating that dominant many areas are now falling to the tale bomb as a particular ring around kabul. at this point, many people question and all you, whether or not the type i will go directly to try and seize carpool,
9:10 pm
and according to the united nations, the gun war has now entered its more destructive phase with casualties. climbing over one and a half a 1000 in the past 4 weeks alone. and all of this really has cause a lot of anger. here in britain, even with many m. p, some of which have even served in the connie occupation over the last 20 years. that incredibly angry and ology that pulling out is a complete mistake and a huge failure. the operation brokers worse it took families apart, left children orphans and parents to cry alone. the decision to withdraw is like a rug pulled from under the feet of our partners. that's why i'm angry. it's wasteful and unnecessary. and why is it personal? because i've seen what it costs and what sacrifices are being thrown away. and i know who's going to pay for it. we will what it's actually a pretty desperate time for the united kingdom is actually sending in around
9:11 pm
$600.00 troops to try and get british nationals out. see out a short term basis rescue mission if you like. but for those in afghanistan, both citizens simply call and guess how this is incredibly, a tragic and scary time for all of them as a taliban relentlessly takes over. but ultimately, for nato allies, britain and america, the last 20 years ending up like this is incredibly humiliating. because they try to rebuild that unsafe allies the region, and now it seems as though with the tale take over, the country could be worse off than us. and as the u. s. lead lines withdraws african nationals who helped to the foreign troops. now fear reprisal from the taliban. a group of afghans who had assisted u. k. forces rally to on the streets of a couple demanding protection from the british government. 600 troops are being deployed to protect k nationals as they evacuate, as well as support the relocation of former african staff. we spoke to
9:12 pm
a former african interpreter who worked for british and american forces. he has asked to remain anonymous out of fear for his life. my family has listed to it's in the post sometime my m b home was attacked twice. my father has been given warnings and threats many, many times my. my dad's name was called that his life will be severely at risk because she offered no one but 2 of her son's guest. the italian was recently one of the interpreter. his father was caught in a province. he was beaten very badly and he was asked to ask his son, who is an interpreter, to come and face the. it should be a cause of detail upon recently, one of the interpreter who used to be an interpreter for the american special

forces was assassinated by the time of the interpreters who have served for years and years. austin and the son, tracing risk and benches. however, do you get government instead of saving their lives, bringing them to live in peace and safety with their kids or they are making excuses and new conditions put in place only to reject their cases. all i'm hearing from my colleagues is the big cases have been rejected, reject. there was a number of cases which were told that there were good to go. there were even given in there was sent an email confirming that when they were ready for the flights, they told me that they can dictate to the you to my brother, for support interpreter for the coalition forces. my brothers still enough to
9:14 pm
understand the british government is making false accusations and excuses to withhold. not only my brothers visa, but many of the interpreters who genuinely need the british governments help and are very high risk or strongly believed that itala on 100 down every are going to interpreter who's so if the partition american forces, it will be the african interpreters or who paid the until the course. as the conflict sharpens the un warned that nearly 400000 civilians have already flooded their homes this year with a particular spike since may many are heading to cobble to flee the taliban, but are living in extremely precarious conditions. here are just some of the heart wrenching stories from refugees. i have been displaced from telecon. the telephone killed, my son shall be took all the belongings from my house and set fire them in front of
9:15 pm
the punch me in the mouth, causing my teeth to fall out. they demanded my son and i told them that he is a school teacher. she recently became a teacher and had not even received his salary. had a class has broke out. we were taken hostage of the fighting, went on for about 6 or 7 days, but we couldn't go outside to do anything we managed to escape. and now we cannot but displaced afghans who seek asylum may not be welcome in the you either with the block currently at loggerheads over what to do with refugees and those fleeing violence. next, our cheese policy or delves into what happened to brussels open door policy. your opinion is less than what to do with african refugees. speaking assigned them in the letter to the european commission. civil countries insisted they have the right to forcibly support those whose cases have been rejected. they vote that not to deport them, would motivate war refugees,
9:16 pm
to flee to europe. we would like to highlight the edge of need to perform returns both voluntary and non voluntary to afghan. a stan stopping return sends the wrong signal, and it's likely to motivate even more afghan citizen to leave the home for the e. u. the situation in afghanistan is deterioration by the all when it comes to the us and nato pay to what's called a truth that the end of the month after decades is all the situation is so bad that the netherlands, germany, and france have decided to cause the deportation to be for now, the situation in afghanistan is likely to change and events for the coming period are so uncertain that i have decided to introduce a more atoria on deputation decisions and departures. agrees, or stress belgian and denmark standing. they want the rejected, assign them because the
9:17 pm
e u is not really and does not have the capacity to kind of another major migration crisis. why your guns are waiting, make up around 10 percent on asylum seekers. they're the 2nd largest group off the syrians. and for a continent still scarred by the migration crisis of 56 years ago, there was a feeling of deja vu, a feeling of having been they before. that has your opinions worried. they might be on the verge of a fish refugee crisis. those people who are here from a gun in time, they're not migrant. they're a few use and asylum seeker. and that is why it is very important to remember. birth that are best in countries have signed humour a convention refugee convention. and they are duty bound to has anyone, not only of guns, but syrians are anybody who come to the, to their country, and as far as them, because you are in the country,
9:18 pm
are any conflict our personal tend to, to the life. so i think than the western countries say, oh, we don't care if a wonder if you just go home or do for them. i think this is a violation of human rights and we should do that kind of thing. the kremlin has explained its refusal to extend the accreditation of the bbc's and federal and moscow correspondent has symmetrical response to britain's discrimination of russian reporters. that's as the u. k broadcaster denounced the decision to expel sara rainsford, who has been in the job for the past 7 years. or she's eager to done comments. essentially, the russian foreign ministry has refused to renew the work resolve. well sarah reins, 40 correspondent with b. b. c. him in russia and she will apparently have to leave the country by the end
9:19 pm
of this month already. but according to the spokeswoman of the russian foreign ministry, maria, the heart of a, they took this step in response to the actions of the you case for an office, have a listen. the anglo saxon media group dismissed multiple warnings by the russian foreign ministry, that relevant measures would be taken in response to london's fees that put downs target. and the russian correspondent in the u. k. were published statements on a regular basis or for in the british side to stop prosecute in russia, journalists. so here's the thing, the so called tenets of reciprocity, has long been a cornerstone of russian diplomacy. in fact, for the past several years in playing terms, it means that if any country in the world takes hostile steps against russia, something that russia doesn't feel is just and doesn't feel it's right than russia and moscow reserve the right to respond accordingly to basically mirror reactions and do something very, very similar. so this is what the russian foreign ministry is saying happening with
9:20 pm
well, sarah reins forward. according to the russian foreign ministry, several russian journalists back in 2019, failed to get work visas in the u. k. but one of them, for example, didn't, i didn't have the visa renewed and another one simply didn't get one at all. and so for the past several years since 2019 the russian foreign ministry of russian diplomats have been pointing at these situations to the u. k. authorities saying that this wasn't right, but that all, all of that i should say fell on deaf ears. and so russia has decided to take this step. at least this is the position of the russian foreign ministry. and of course, the b, b. c is quite better, they call this step and attack on the freedom of press. they've also called this. they've also urged the russian foreign ministry to reconsider their decision. and also the pledge to, to well reporting on russia's affairs impartially. but when russian journalists weren't allowed to work on the u. k. soil,
9:21 pm
that was all fine. it was fine for years. it wasn't an attack on the freedom of press. but when the b, b, c, probably the face of the u. k. journalism all over the world gets stung and gets well the same treatment gets the same dose of the same medicine. that's different. independent journalist martin summers thinks that the problem is what western countries want to see russia as an enemy. well, you got to think about it from a sort of psychological warfare point of view from the, from the western side. what they want to see in media is lots and lots of discussion about how bad russia is. so you don't know the defender h mis defender sales in that disputed waters. you know, there's got to be some anti russian media story every week. and in that sense, in a state, you can argue that the russians are playing into their hands here. boy, you know,
9:22 pm
she's not just knowing of these are renewed, but on the other hand, it's because relations also paul, that we've reached this point me to do something to, to, to improve relations. but it's hard to see watts when there's such a loss of ingrained hostility, mostly on the western side. i mean, they won't, they won't russia as an enemy. and they make that pretty clear an explosion has ripped through a public bus in the western russian city of our own is killing 2 women and enduring 20 other people. and i witness who rushed to help. survivors told us what he saw. why not? but i slot a minute, i a minutes after the blast i heard children scream, people please help me, didn't rush to the bus and jumped in through the window which had already been shattered. once inside a thorn 11 or 12 year old girl, she was stuck between 2 seats. moments ago i came to help me 1st we got the girl
9:23 pm
out. i'm sure her ribs broken, given how tightly she had been stuck. he made several attempts to stand her out with what she couldn't and started falling after her. i'll go back on the bus. there was a woman in a green dress. her legs were severely hurt. her legs had been blown off to above the knees. we took her out and puts her on the ground. it was appalling. inside. you could see legs quality parts scattered around, but you don't focus on that as you battle to save human lives. a human life is the most precious thing on us. i didn't analyze anything at the moment of rushing to help. i acted instinctively. what self can you do when you hear children screaming, moaning my heart told me to do that. i understand this would shock, ordinary people. they'd seek to avoid such things. i've been to war, i'm sort of used to it. i helped i went hung, i knew about wanting that the following report begins with st. camera video of the actual glass itself and contain some rather distressing images. now
9:24 pm
a split 2nd before the incident and then debrief, flying out from all sides that a fire at the time it is believed that the bus had around $35.00 passengers on board. and as the blast hit, many of those who are still able to move slaves further disturbing images of the explosion show and an injured person lying on the ground among the debris. russian authorities have opened a criminal probe and are looking into a number of possible explanations with no version single down so far, ortiz donald quarter has been following the tragic events aftermath. as you can see behind me, whatever was left of the blast has already been cleaned up, traffic is already moving normally on the street. again, you can also see behind me a bench where there are some flowers. this is the bus station right next to where the explosion take took place. people put flowers, they are overnight and memory of those who died in this tragic event. now, as for what caused this explosion, the investigative committee is looking at several different theory. so the main
9:25 pm
version it's looking at is that either the diesel boss was filled with the wrong fuel or a gas cylinder had exploded on board. there were other people that were saying that the driver per potentially was being negligent and that it was his fault. while the police have said that an earlier theory that it was a terrorist attack, has now been deemed unlikely. projectiles such as pieces of one or nails, things usually used, an explosive devices were not found. those injured were mostly hand by fragments of flying glass. however, the chance that it could be an explosive device can still not be ruled out. right before the bus exploded, it was fully filled all with a total of $35.00 people on board. and 2 people were killed, one of which was a woman who brutally had her legs blown off in the explosion. it was certainly a tragic thing to see. as the driver explained, after the fact miss diane and the phone, we were still, people were getting on the bus, the traffic light turned red. people got them from the cross walk. i started
9:26 pm
driving off then the last happened, broken glass smoke. i couldn't understand what happened. people helped to evacuate, so that there are people who are seriously injured. shortly after this tragedy took place, the regions governor called for a full inspection of the entire region public transport vehicle. now that inspection has since concluded, and it came up with no new problems connected to any of the regions, the transport vehicle. but again, like i said, this investigation is continuing, its continuing to try to find out what exactly cause this explosion. and we'll bring our viewers the latest details as they become available. 33 and a half minutes. that's when i will be back with shows. this is our teacher national stuff. ah, ah,
9:27 pm
the good news i think is part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims inside the language and mental health became more common. so if you disagree with something i said on this program, you know, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your adventure logic. you say your micro grass mate,
9:28 pm
you say you triggered me. you said you hard me again some psychological way because those are psychological terms. and i get an enormous problem for politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the the release video shows las vegas police waiting in the hallway at the mandalay bay hotel. even as steven paddock continues to murder people below the board ever killed and this coward stayed on the 31st floor and not one attempt was made to reach the 32nd floor. vice could have been said that they would take an action. absolutely. they had a team of armed individuals that did nothing but
9:29 pm
a coward while the shots were going on. 58 people died at night and the town cub could have done something for them. but they don't tell anybody about it. i found out about it and i did a story on it. there were 30 police officers with shotguns and they are going to handle the emission floor now on the 32nd floor into the room, 1121 of the water watch discharges weapon in the room. where they went into the room and they completely destroyed the crime scene, which is something you all do when they turned over patrick's body, they ransacked the room. that goes against any stand that police protocol anywhere in this country. they handle the crime scene like a bunch of incompetent because they call my the biggest crime scene in american history at that point. the bottle never brought this out until i broke the story and was followed up by some news me after he would not have won the election. in my opinion,
9:30 pm
had this information been released the way it should have been released in the timeframe is, should have been released in the british. he was forced to release. you have the body chair videos where you hear officers directly saying, turn your cameras off. make sure your cameras are off. why do you not want what's about to happen to be on video? killing my body, one of the many crazy things in this investigation that just doesn't. i think there's something more to this shooting than what's been disclosed with police officers, they say to day or gun shots from different locations right now is what i want you to do. and we saw more from other fashion coming out that window. fisher was just
9:31 pm
one because it was due to
